The Library
MARION G. RYLAND, B. A., B. S., Librarian
Lucy T. THROCKMORTON,Assistant to the Librarian
The Library occupies the southern wing of Ryland Hall. The interior is panelled in oak, and the bookcases arranged in alcove plan. It contains about twenty-five thousand volumes, not including pamphlets, arranged and catalogued by the Dewey System.
The most recent and useful bibliographical aids are provided, and the best periodicals and reviews, daily and weekly papers are curren tly received. As a depository of the United States Government, the Library acquires annually hundreds of publications especially valuable for reference in Social and Political Science. The student s have direct access to the shelves every day, and the Librarian and as s istant are always on hand to give help in any line of reading-or research
What We Offer Besides Classes
The University of Richmond Summer School offers exceptiona l advantages to the student who desires something more than mere class work during the summer months. The student may combine happily the features of a summer school course and a delightful vacation and there are a variety of pastimes to relieve the drudgery of class work oramarily so trying during the hot weather period.
In its suburban situation, the Summer School would appear to t h e casual observer more a summer resort than an educational inst itution. The temperature of the campus always is several degre es lower than that of the neighboring city and the buildings , being constructed almost wholly of brick, are cool and comfortable except in extremely hot weather. The beautiful lake on the campu s offers unusual facilities for boating and swimming, while the picturesque James River nearby calls to the student who loves the g reat outdoors, offering opportunities for fishing, camping , and boating parties.
P rofessors and students mingle freely on the campus after the fa shion of a summer colony. Everybody comes to know everybody else and a delightful comradeship and freemasonry is developed that adds a social distinction to the school impossible to inst itutions where there is a large attendance. The summer school soon becomes as one large family .
AFTERNOON ON THE LAKE
T he proximity of the school to the historic city of Richmond affords an education in itself. Every street is freighted with the roma nce of the making of a Nation. There are the giant industrial plan ts, the State Library, the Capital, the Medical College, the 'literary shrines-magic with the spirit of a Poe, a Thompson, a Bagby,-the monuments, the muesums. Students interested in hist ory , business administration, government, sociology, · literature. will find in Richmond almost unparalleled opportunities for study and observation-.
It is the policy of the director of the summer school to aid st udents in their efforts to see the things worth while in and about Richmond. Points of interest are discussed in the weekly assemblies and expeditions to the battlefields with members of the faculty are offered. This prevents the hap-hazard and illogical wanderings into which students who are comparative strangers to Richmond naturally would fall. A six weeks' residence in the midst of these scenes under the direction of men and women who know Richmond, is worth immeasurably more than the mere transient and hurried sojourn of the tourist.
